Electroplating Finishes for Increased Durability, Corrosion Resistance and Aesthetics
Tónus Kft. has a decades-long history of galvanizing metals.
The plant was commissioned in 2011 with two production lines, which have since been modernized to meet current needs and requirements.
Our Electroplating Process
Preparation
The surface is thoroughly cleaned and prepared for the process.
Coating
The prepared surface is immersed in an electrolyte solution and connected to a power source.
Completion
The galvanized surface is tested, polished and finished to achieve the desired appearance.

FAQs
Get answers to frequently asked questions about electroplating and learn more about Tónus Kft's expertise in this field.
What is electroplating?
Electroplating is the application of zinc coatings using an alkaline, cyanide-free technology that gives the metal workpiece a higher resistance, which meets the corrosion protection requirements of the standard.
The process is carried out by electrolysis with the aim of increasing the corrosion resistance of the metal and giving it a good aesthetic appearance.
What are the advantages of electroplating?
The surface treatment increases the service life of the metal, makes it more resistant to corrosion and gives the surface the desired aesthetic appearance.
How does electroplating work in metal technology?
In our plant, only suspended surface treatment is carried out, resulting in a uniform and high-quality coating.
The process begins with pre-treatment. Oily impurities are removed by chemical and electrochemical degreasing. The surface is then activated to make it completely metal-free and surface-active so that a higher quality metal coating can be applied.
A zinc anode is used to form the coating; the surface to be coated is the cathode, which is immersed in the zinc bath. The galvanizing baths are equipped with a vertical cathode movement.
Direct current is used to initiate the electrolysis process and a corrosion-resistant metallic coating with a thickness of 8 to 20 µm is deposited on the steel part, depending on the customer's requirements.
For the post-treatment of the coating, we use corrosion-resistant blue and yellow passivation solutions depending on the customer's requirements.
After the surface treatment, the workpieces do not require any further surface protection, but can be painted on request, which can also be done in-house.
Which materials can be electroplated?
We galvanize workpieces made of steel, wrought iron, cast iron and copper.
What different manufacturing processes does Tónus Kft. offer in electroplating?
Surface treatment is carried out in two lines with maximum pick-up dimensions:
- Line I 2000x850x450mm
- Line II 2800x1100x550mm
Line I is blue and yellow, line II is blue passivated as a post-treatment.
How much does it cost to electroplate metals?
The cost of electroplating depends on the specific requirements of the end product. Our experts will be happy to provide you with an individual quote.
What impact does electroplating have on the environment?
We work within the framework of a comprehensive environmental permit and use the best available techniques for the surface treatment of metals.
The technology used is modern, environmentally friendly and meets today's needs and requirements.
The passivation is Cr(VI)-free.
What layer thickness is achieved during electroplating?
Coating up to a thickness of 20 µm is possible.
In which industries is electroplating of products used particularly frequently?
- Construction and building materials industry
- Automotive industry
- Electronics industry
- Jewelry industry
- Household appliance industry
- Aerospace industry
- Packaging industry
- Heavy industry
- Medical equipment industry
How does quality assurance take place during electroplating?
In order to be able to offer our customers the highest possible product quality, we continuously implement quality assurance measures. These measures include:
- Inspection of finished products
- Coating thickness measurements
- Porosity tests
- Salt spray test
- Chemical composition testing
- Electrical tests (if required)
- Documentation and records
- Accurate process controls
- Ongoing training and qualification of our personnel
- Error analyses
